The BA (Hons) validated in Interior Architecture is a three-year degree structured to progressively develop your creative, technical and professional skills in the design of interior spaces and built environments.
In the first year, you will establish core foundations in design principles, technical language, materiality, and spatial imagination. The focus is on understanding how space, form, and materials shape human experience while building essential visual communication and conceptual design skills.
In the second year, you will work on increasingly complex spatial applications through projects focused on private and public environments. You will explore functionality, spatial planning, and practical design solutions while developing your own creative and technical approaches through studio-based projects and collaborative learning.
In the final year, you will advance your professional practice through specialist design techniques, industry engagement, and independent project work. The course culminates in a Final Major Project that allows you to investigate and resolve a comprehensive interior architecture proposal supported by research, portfolio development and professional practice experience.
Throughout the course, you will work within a creative studio environment with international professors that combine experimentation, critical inquiry, and real-world application. All assessments are project-based, allowing you to develop a professional portfolio through practical work rather than traditional exams.
Validated by our academic partner, Coventry University, and awarded as a UK degree, this graduation in Interior Architecture is taught in Cascais, Portugal, combining internationally recognised academic standards with a creative, project-based learning experience. The course prepares you for careers in interior architecture, spatial design, exhibition design, scenography, and multidisciplinary creative practice.
